How we create our nursery menus – and why it matters. At Partou, food is seen as a vital part of a child’s nursery experience, not just an add-on. Every menu is carefully designed using expert input and government guidance to ensure children receive balanced, nutritious meals that support their growth and development. Menus are created in partnership with a registered nutritionist and are aligned with the Department for Education’s Early Years nutrition guidance. This means each meal includes key elements such as fruit or vegetables, wholegrains, and varied protein sources, while limiting processed foods. Every dish is thoughtfully reviewed before being served, giving parents confidence in the quality of food provided. Seasonality plays an important role in menu planning. By updating menus throughout the year, children are introduced to a wide range of fresh ingredients, helping them develop diverse tastes and an appreciation for different foods. Meals also draw inspiration from global cuisines, encouraging curiosity and expanding young palates. Catering for individual needs is central to Partou’s approach. Allergies and dietary preferences are carefully managed, with tailored meals that maintain nutritional balance. Mealtimes are relaxed and social, encouraging children to explore food at their own pace and build positive eating habits that can last a lifetime....Show more
